and is quite beautiful. This area is surrounded by a combination of white birch,
white pines, maples and oak trees. There is a large bell that can be rung to
symbolize the joining of the two lives. This area is quite private (more than 600
feet from the road) and offers another beautiful setting for wedding receptions
and parties as well.
Site Four
Western Wedding Area: This area is at the far northeast end of the property
and is quite remote, but connected to the rest of the area by groomed trails
and easily accessible with our three golf carts (capacity 4 people each) to move
guests back and forth from the other reception and/or lodging areas. It has a
capacity of up to 150 people for the wedding ceremony and the same for a
reception. It does not have electricity without a generator, so ceremonies
should be held prior to sundown. The wedding area itself has a horseshoe
gazebo that was brought here from Austin Texas. It has a very large oak tree
and a white pine tree next to each other symbolizing the coming together of
the bride and groom to live together in harmony.
Ceremony Staging
The Log Cabin is often used for bride and bridesmaid preparation and either
the Cowboy Cabin or the Pine Cottage is often used for the groom and
groomsman preparation. Again, golf carts are an easy method for escorting
the bride and groom parties between these buildings and the chosen
wedding sites.

well as the trees and railing on the porch of the Lake House. There are flower
beds along the walkway which are decorated with white flowering plants so as
to blend with the color selection of the wedding couple. Lighting in place is also
white for the same reason, but other colors can be added as desired.

normally used for weddings at 100 to 125 with an outdoor reception with one
or two tents which can be very affordable, yet beautiful enough you will want to

Remember there is lodging for 25-30 on site.
Also, we have a 12X12 stage for improving the wedding ceremony viewing and
